A day in the life in Grand Rapids, MI
Step onto our warehouse floor and start your shift with a pre-op check of your Hi‑Lo. You’ll stage inbound pallets, shuttle materials to the right aisles, and keep product moving so teams downstream can hit their goals. When trucks back into the dock, you’ll load and unload safely and efficiently, verify counts, and record movements using basic computer tools. Throughout the day you’ll coordinate with shipping/receiving and production, follow lock‑step safety practices, and immediately flag any equipment issues or hazards. You’ll also help with periodic stock counts and operate supporting equipment like the palletizer to keep the flow seamless.
